Welcome to the website of Organic electronics Group founded at Ioffe Institute in 2006. Our group's interest focuses on experiment in condensed matter physics related to electronic, photoelectronic and optical properties of conducting polymers; polymer-inorganic nanoparticle composites, biopolymers, perovskite-based materials and organic microelectronics devices based on these polymer nanostructures.

An understanding of physical processes in conjugated polymers, perovskite, organic/inorganic composites, biopolymers and devices on their basis is an important goal of our activity. We are working on new organic, perovskite materials and organic/inorganic nanoparticles composites for active layers of light emitting diodes (LEDs), light-emitting thin films transistors (LE-FETs), polymer, perovskite and composite solar cells as well as memory devices (memristors).

Current Research Focus

  • Design, electrical and optical investigation of new polymer - inorganic nanoparticles hybrid active layers for OLEDs and light-emitting OFETs.
    Progress with organic electronics including light-emitting polymers and organic-inorganic perovskites is very fast. In these days OLEDs have reached the parameters (brightness, lifetime etc.) suitable for application in cell phones and CD cameras displays; these products are available on the market already. Incorporation of semiconducting nanoparticles - quantum dots (QD) into 3D polymer matrices provides an integration of organic and inorganic materials on nanometer scale into hybrid optoelectronic structures. Such integration allows designing devices that combine the diversity and processibility of organic materials with high electronic and optical performance of inorganic nanoparticles. We investigated the effects of a semiconducting nanoparticles type (ZnO, Si, cesium lead halide nanocrystals, etc.), their concentration as well as application of an electric field on the intensity and spectra of photo- and electroluminescence (PL and EL) of a conducting polymers - nanoparticles hybrid films [1-9]. Blue shift of the PL spectrum and quenching of the PL emission of MEH-PPV upon incorporation of ZnO nanoparticles are demonstrated. Application of a voltage bias to planar electrodes shifts the PL maxima towards the blue (BEHP-co-MEH-PPV:ZnO) or red (MEH-PPV:ZnO) spectral regions. Radiative recombination mechanisms imply the formation of polymer-nanoparticle complexes including "exciplex" states and charge transfer between the polymer and nanoparticles controlled by an electric field. Hybrid light-emitting organic field-effect transistors (LE-FETs) based on PFO:ZnO and MEH-PPV:ZnO films have been designed to combine the emission properties of LEDs with the switching properties of FETs. It was found that such LE-FETs exhibit the current-voltage characteristics of ambipolar FET with saturation behaviour and operates in the hole/ electron accumulation mode. The mobility, μFET (300 K), for PFO:ZnO FETs was found to increase drastically with increase of the concentration of ZnO nanoparticles - up to ~ 2 cm2/Vs for the PFO:ZnO FET (1:1), which is close to the mobility of ZnO. Great increase of the EL intensity of the hybrid LE-FETs has been observed with increasing of the concentration of ZnO nanoparticles and with application of gate bias [7,8].

    The objective of our research is developing the most promising composite organic/inorganic and perovskite device materials for hybrid active layers of OLEDs and LE-OFETs, where the emission color can be controlled (switched) by concentration and electric field. The research objective implies an intensive electrical and optical investigation of different semiconducting polymer-inorganic nanoparticles, perovskite and polymer-perovskite composites with different polymers, perovskites, nanoparticles type and size to find out the most promising combinations as well as an intensive study of the dominant physical transport and recombination mechanism in such hybrid nanostructures [1-11]. Prospects of application of such perovskite and polymer-inorganic nanoparticles composites as active layers for hybrid OLEDs (including white OLEDs), LE-OFETs, solar cells and memory chips are investigated taking into account that all these hybrid components are compatible with up-to-date flexible and printed organic electronics technology.

  • Memory devices
    With the emergence of the Internet of Things and the rapid growth of big data generated by edge devices, there has been a growing need for electronic devices that are capable of processing and transmitting data at low power and high speeds. Memristors are a novel type of electronic device that has the potential to break down the barrier between storage and computing. Halide perovskites (HPs) have unique electrical and optical properties, including ion migration, charge trapping effect caused by intrinsic defects, excellent optical absorption efficiency, and high charge mobility, which makes them highly promising in applications of memristors. We have investigated the resisting switching and memory effects in composite films and field-effect transistors based on conducting polymers, organic-inorganic halide perovskites, inorganic nanoparticles, graphene and graphene oxide flakes are investigated. It is established, that the introduction of inorganic nanoparticles exhibiting strong acceptor properties into polymer matrix leads to the appearance of memory effects, which manifests them in the transition of the polymer from a low conductivity to a high conductivity state. For a number of composites this transition is accompanied by a negative differential resistance region and a hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics. It was suggested that the dominant transport mechanism in the polymer-semiconductor nanoparticles (HP – graphene oxide flakes) composite films is hopping conduction, which is responsible for the effects observed in these materials [1-6].

  • Polymer and polymer-inorganic nanoparticles solar cells. Photosensitive properties of organic/inorganic composites
    Conjugated polymer-inorganic nanoparticles composites with suitable band-edge offset at the heterojunction are promising active materials for cheap flexible photovoltaic cells and photo- transistors. We have examined optical and electrical properties of different organic/inorganic perovskites and composites for organic photovoltaic cells. We have investigated the photosensitive properties and mechanisms of free charge carrier photogeneration in such composites. Prospects of application of polymer, perovskite and composite solar cells and photo-transistors are analyzed. The influence of perovskite layers on properties of a-Si solar cells also studied [1-7].

  • Charge carrier transport in quasi-one dimensional conjugated polymers and polymer nanostructures including THz region
    A systematic investigation of charge carrier transport mechanism in both 3D doped polymer films and polymer nanowires (nanofibers and nanotubes made of different conjugated polymers by different methods) is currently on the way. We consider the applicability of various theoretical models in order to explain results on the low temperature charge transport (dc conductivity) in conducting polymer nanowires. The relationship between these recent results and the one- dimensional (1D) nature of the conjugated polymers is discussed in consideration of up-to-date theories for tunneling in 1D conductors, such as disordered Luttinger liquid, Wigner crystal, variable range hopping, etc. [8-10]. Electrical and optical properties of conjugated polymers, “perovskites and their composites were studied by THz time-domain spectroscopy [1, 5, 6, 8-11]. Prospects for applications of conducting polymers and biopolymers [2-4, 7, 12-14] as nanowires, nano field-effect transistors, memory chips, etc. analyzed.
